CrazyEngineers
  • CrazyEngineers is announcing a contest for all engineering students and graduates called 'My Internship Experience'. We are excited about this contest as we believe every engineer has an interesting story to tell and we are all ears for it.

    Every year, thousands of engineering students are on a hunt of internship. However, first-hand information is not available to them from their peers. By sharing your internship story, you are enriching the lives of thousands of students who will now be motivated to pursue their dreams after reading your story.

    We believe, if you have done it, it's your chance to share your story with others to help them and inspire!

    All you have to do is roll up your sleeves and write your internship experience to win a bumper cash prize!

    I am sure there will be many entries and I am sure many interns struggled hard to get internship to their dream company. Looking forward to read them.

    Looking forward to see the stories. The only thing I remember from internship was misconfiguring a spanning tree command on a test Cisco switch, that was plugged in the company's live network. Took down the whole network for a while 😁 Oh well, we all learn from mistakes!

    Ha ha ! And what I did was blown Microcontroller when I want to measure some signal on pins and end up shorting VCC-GND. 😛

    Hey #-Link-Snipped-#
    Yes, you can take part in the contest. As far as the word-limit is concerned, we prefer you keep it within the limits. A few words extra won't disqualify you. 👍

    hi #-Link-Snipped-#

    I have undergone two internships (one was in the previous month and other was 2 years back)
    The latest one gave a me a very bad experience which could rather demotivate engineering students to join internship program .. So what do you think ? shall I go for the event ?

    We believe that you need to share your experience truthfully as it happened. There are pluses and minuses to everything. I encourage you to take part in the contest and share your learning/takeaways from the internship with all. The intention is to hear the first-hand experience of every intern.

    You can share both experiences in two separate entries.

    PS: I'll update the announcement to share that each participant can share any two internship experiences.

    #-Link-Snipped-# You sure are. Simply share the internship experience of those 3 months. Also, make sure that you have some proof to show that you did internship there during that period. We will verify it if we think it is necessary.

    Hi,
    This is really sad...I spent my time writing this story and was very enthusiastic about it...and now I get to know that the entries were closed at 11:00 rather than 12:00 . This is highly unfair!

    #-Link-Snipped-# and #-Link-Snipped-# It is not good that you waited till the 11th hour to submit the entries when a total of 15 days were given to submit the entries.
    Remember that, in an online contest, one has to keep checking the official page for updates from time to time.
    It is unfair to call things unfair when everything is out in the open and the system is completely transparent.

    To respect your enthusiasm of taking part in the contest & several other requests to extend the deadline, We've decided to take entries for an additional hour tomorrow between 10:00 am -12:00 pm.

    The link to submit entries via the same form will be open at 10:00 am tomorrow morning.

    Update:
    We will be sending out emails to the shortlisted entries tomorrow. If you receive an email, respond to it with the proof of internship as soon as possible.

    If you have a hard copy, keep the scanned copy ready. If you have an email, that will do too. NOTE: If participants delay in responding to the email, results will be postponed by a day or two.

    May the best entry win!
